WEBSITE CHECKLIST

Business Name

When coming up with a business name, it’s important to choose a name that is both unique and memorable. To ensure that you get the perfect name for your business, we suggest you follow these steps:

• First, jot down all your ideas for potential business names. If you’re having trouble coming up with the perfect name, we can provide you with the necessary creative and research assistance.

• Second, search your business name on Google, and research what pops up. Also, don't forget to search social media platforms you would use for your business. If you find a company with a similar name, it’s best to move on to your next option.

• Third, check with the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) to make sure that the name you’ve chosen isn’t trademarked, as this could lead to legal issues.

• Fourth, check domain availability on Wix.

By following these steps, you can be sure to find the perfect name for your business.

​

Domain

A website's domain name is like a street address for the internet. It points to a specific location on the web so that users' web browsers can connect to the website. Make sure the house you want is vacant before you start making plans to move in. You can check domain availability through your platform provider or online. Purchase 1 year or 2 year domain. (This is a yearly plan. This gives you 100% ownership of your domain.)

• Purchase domain through Wix https://www.wix.com/domain/names

​

Business Email

Most business owners create a Gmail for their business first and they use this email for their logins to different accounts. Once you purchase your domain I recommend purchasing a business email to build trust and credibility with your target audience.

• Google Account Login- If you don't have one, create a Google Account. If you purchase your business email through Google or Wix you can skip this step.

  • For example I use the following email:

    •  digitalstylzllc@gmail.com

  • Send the following information:​

    • Username:​

    • Password:

• Business Email- Create a business email after you purchase your domain.

  • For example I use the following email:

    • kethompson@digitalstylz.com​

I will use this information to list your business on Google.

 

Platform
